Sources from inside Vietnam reported to us that on September 9, 2004, in the Commune of Dang Ya, district of Cu Pah, province of Gialai, Vietnamese officials coerced the Montagnards who have been working for the Government in the Commune, to organize a phoney violent demonstration by paying them money. This kind of staged managed demonstrations have been organized repeatedly (see the MFI press release of August 4, 2004) in the Central Highlands by the Vietnamese Government after the Peaceful Easter Demonstrations in order to falsely claim to the world that groups of Montagnard people are engaged in terrorist activities against the Vietnamese Government. Below is a summary of how the demonstration was first organized and then held under the tight control of the Vietnamese authorities.
On September 8, 2004 the day before the demonstration,Vietnamese officials instructed two Montagnards, Amur who is a member of Mother Front at the commune of Dang Ya, district of Cu Pah, and Amuc who is the chairman of the Ha-Bau commune, district of Dak Doa, in the province of Gialai, to coerce the Montagnards who have been working for the government in the commune of Dang Ya to organize a phoney violent demonstration, by promising them that they will be paid 5,000 Vietnam Dong each.
On September 9, 2004, at 8 am, Vietnamese officials gathered around 50 men and women who work for the Government in the commune of Dang Ya as police officers, soldiers and cadres and 7 villagers from the area and instructed them, who were all dressed as civilians, to demonstrate using sticks and throwing rocks as they were protesting violently against the Government, by attacking the gate of the communal building and throwing rocks into the communal office. During the event Government officials filmed them with a video camera. At around 12:00 O'clock noon, Government officials from the district of Cu Pah arrived in Dang Ya and at that point the demonstrators received their reward of 5,000 VND each. After they received their rewards, the demonstrators went back to their homes.
The allegations of the Vietnamese Government that Montagnard people are involved in terrorist activities have been denied for a long time by both democratic Governments and the United Nations months, in particular last July when the UN ECOSOC formally rejected such allegation. Notwithstanding such firm rejection by the international community, the Vietnamese Government continues to try to fool the world with phoney violent demonstrations and not allowing independent monitors and journalists to freely accede to the region, being scared that the truth about the mistreatment and repression suffered by the Montagnard people over the last 30 years would emerge.
